Driver DMA/ATA bug on B72 during installation

807557Dec 6 2004 — edited Dec 17 2004
Hello,

I'm trying to jumpstart install Solaris 10 x86 b72.

My hw: Athlon XP 800mhz, 120gb Hitachi deskstar, etc.

The following message appears when creating the '/' filesystem:

"Creating / (c0d0s0)"
"Please file a ***BUG*** for driver ata, dma_*_bind() will return a failure.
sgllen 17, cookie count=68, and DDI_DMA_PARTIAL is *not* set"

My disk sounds also weird in this phase (copying packages)... like it's parking the heads now and then. Not sure maybe its a hardware problem then... or it could be a bad driver causing this behaviour.

If anyone has a clue, let me know. The install seems to go through though, but I'm afraid it might crash my disk.

// Magnus
